If you ever felt that climate science was intimidating, this is the book for you. It's approachable, positive, upbeat, and adorably illustrated. * Kathyrn Kellogg, author of '101 Ways to Go Zero Waste' *
Too often, climate action is framed as being either a question of individual responsibility, or instead being entirely about systems-level interventions. The real truth is it's both/and-and Things You Can Do provides a plethora of engaging, accessible ways to get involved. * Sami Grover, author of 'We're All Climate Hypocrites' *
